Once you collect all the bugs, her house is really neat looking, and she acts less creepy. You also get some really nice goodies for it. Plus, the game has Wolf Link! And Agitha likes Wolf Link. She rubbed my belly once . . . It was like being a kitten.

I liked Twilight Princess, I hope the new Wii U Zelda is a sequel to that version of the Hyrule timeline. I’d also enjoy the return of Wolf Link, and maybe capitalize on Link’s apparent capacity for shape-shifting a little more now that we have more races to add on the Child timeline.

In animal crossing there’s a tropical island you can go to and catch beetles that sell for like 10,000 Animal Crossing dollars each on the mainland, my brother figured it drew some pretty clear parallels to the practice of trafficking Columbian cocaine.

What makes it more sinister is that you can take fossils you dug up from the village, and sell them in the flea market in Re-Tail for 9,999 Bells, and literally PUSH villagers that come into the shop toward them, and they’ll buy them when you insist. o.o

You get both buildings either way; they have nothing to do with the ordnance. But about 5 or 6 days after the flower shop is built, then Shrunk will show up looking for signatures; After you collect enough, then you just wait 4 to 6 days more for the club to open.

He’ll come to your door with a petition for you to get villagers to sign, probably between a few days and a week from now? It doesn’t depend on the ordinance, although that would’ve been a neat feature :P

It’s a super boring game but they put in a built in screenshot feature and a way to post the screenshots directly from your DS to twitter, tumblr, and Facebook so the urge to share is overwhelming and everyone ends up peer pressured into buying it.

Unless, you know, you barely glance at any social networking site more than once a month. I can’t tell if I’m crippling myself or saving myself.

The appeal of Animal Crossing is relatively straightforward, and similar to The Sims; it’s a life, one you can control and actually pay for everything in, and with lots of trinkets to collect. It keeps you on the hook for one more bug, one more fish, one more house upgrade, one more town improvement, and your fruit trees all just bore… fruit. You can run out of things to do in a day- but then you hit on the idea of time travel and change the clock to do it all again.

I played the original, and now I’m playing New Leaf. I swear, this time I’ll keep my urge towards completion in check, and no, my town is not at ALL half fruit trees…

Only half? I have perfect apple trees, as well as orange, mangoes, durian and lychee trees everywhere. Not to mention the banana trees I’ve got growing on the beaches. Harvest day is a very busy day in my town.

Same as you though, I’ve only ever played the original gamecube one and haven’t touched the series till now.

It actually made for a fun family game. We’d send each other little gifts, rearrange the furniture in the houses and compete to see who could score the cash rock first that day. And then Minecraft showed up, so now we just booby-trap each other’s bases.

That is absolutely wonderful XD Have you heard of rooster teeth? Or achievement hunter which is part of it. I’m guessing you have. They have lots of fun videos about how to set up traps for people and griefing, oh the griefing.

While the police dogs don’t show up in New Leaf (At least not until you build their station, which I just unlocked as an option apparently), going to the Island is still a lot like this. They don’t let you bring ANYTHING to the island except the clothes on your back, and you have to put anything you want to take back with you in a special box, which I’m sure is checked thrice every time you add something. Cap’n even jokes about not giving you all your stuff back, and I worry about my shovel every time he does.

I had no idea those beetles sold well on the mainland. I was just using them to round out my encyclopedia and turn in to my museum.
Thanks Coelasquid, i think you just turned me into a Beetle Runner for cash now.
